Rod Lucas has been playing Smooth Jazz on British radio since 1971 (BBC
Radio Medway/Kent) at the tender age of 15. In those early 70's Rod featured
people like Milt Jackson, Stanley Turrentine, Hubert Laws, George Benson,
Herbie Hancock, Cal Tjader, Erroll Garner, Ramsey Lewis,
Sergio Santos Mendes & Donald Byrd. He also featured material from Spanish
Flamenco guitarists including Paco de Lucia. Herb Alpert added to the whole
feel of Smooth Jazz with Rod in 1971. Then the other Smooth Jazz artists
came along, Bob James & Earl Klugh, all featured in his nightly BBC
programs 'chat n grooves' and anything else that had a sweet mood 'cross
over feel' of chilled early 70's Smooth Jazz.
